– Oskar Eustis |TED2018 |”Why theater is essential to democracy.”

TED and the ‘TEDx movement”, as the CEO of YouTube has coined it, has much akin to theater as Oscar Eustis explains it in his TED talk below. There is very sound reasoning behind why TED demands that TEDx licenses be issues and non-competing, locally based events. It is because that is the only way to focus on discovering on the type of inspiration that Chris Anderson got choked up about while on stage talking about the TEDx movement at TED2018.

TEDx is not a ‘brand’, it is a facilitator of community discovery and inclusive conversations, the true value is the genius that lay in Solana Beach community.

We are inviting you to participate in the TEDxSolanaBeach community. Please join us.
